Toyota Value Dominates Canadian Auto Industry Again, Receiving the Most Canadian Black Book Best Retained Value Awards and ALG Residual Value Awards

TORONTO, ON – February 14, 2018 – Toyota Canada Inc. (TCI) has once again won an industry-leading 16 awards for residual / retained value: 11 Canadian Black Book (CBB) Best Retained Value Awards and five ALG Residual Value Awards – more than any other auto manufacturer for the ninth straight year.  Toyota was also named the Top Overall Brand for retained value (cars, and trucks/crossovers/SUVs) by CBB.

For many Canadians, a new vehicle is their first major purchase – and Toyota is committed to helping customers protect their investment by building quality and dependability into every model. That’s why Toyota and Lexus cars, trucks and SUVs continue to receive awards from CBB and ALG – again and again.

“When buying a vehicle, everybody wants to know that they are getting the best value possible – so we’re proud to receive these awards from Canadian Black Book and ALG that demonstrate exactly that,” said Cyril Dimitris, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Toyota Canada Inc. “Quality, dependability and reliability are built into every model, so Canadians enjoy peace of mind when they purchase a Toyota vehicle.”

• Top Overall Brand – Trucks/Crossovers/SUVs (CBB – 2^nd consecutive year)
